HUDSON COUNTY — For the second time in two months, the city of Bayonne will soon attempt to auction off a no-longer used firehouse on 34th Street.
Last month, the city put up two pieces of property for sale – the firehouse and a 15-acre stretch of property along Kill Van Kull.
IMTT, the local chemical company, successfully bid for the Kill Van Kull property for $1.2 million. But there were no takers for the firehouse. So the City Council is expected to vote at its July 28 meeting to auction the building off again.
Bids for the firehouse at 25 W. 34th St. will start at $200,000, and the city will provide a 10 percent discount if the buyer agrees to preserve the façade of the firehouse, which was built in 1883.
